We didn’t. But he’s gotten so bad that he’s come out the other side and now we do. Either way the Steinbrenners love him, so he’s not going anywhere, so you might as well just lean into the Stockholm Syndrome. 

I like him because I don’t take myself too seriously. And hearing plenty of interviews with him he knows what he’s doing. It’s goofy and certainly not for everybody but I prefer that to some psycho like Jack Edwards or Tommy Heinsohn who scream bloody murder every time a call goes against the home team

“Bellbrook High School is small. According to Daniel, there were fewer than 1,000 students at the school when he and Cofer attended, and his graduating class only had 199 students.”

Posthumously outing this person when they, reportedly, had decided in life to only share this part of their life with a close circle of friends is dubious at best. On a personal level I find it reprehensible. 

So tl;dr - Luna is a poorly-trained dog.

> I have to actually look them in the eye.

“Has he ever been relevant?”

The Olympics, and he scored a lot in the NBA (a whole lot). Fair or not, that’s your answer. I agree with the blog that he’s irrelevant now, for many reasons, chief among them that he’s refused to evolve, but he was real real good for team USA and put up a lot of points in the league

I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again and again as long as she’s running. This woman is evil. Her new age nonsense is fine until it’s the middle of the AIDs crisis, an there are no treatments yet, and she’s spouting “The Secret” bullshit to people like my college friend Michael, who despite being an actual…

I mean.. there is an Institute of Peace? I used to work there.

For real. Franken was an excellent Senator, he stepped down rather than be made into an attack ad (lookin’ at you, Bob Menendez), and we should just accept that and be grateful/relieved. If all his would-be defenders could focus on his actual political heroism (Politics operates on a different scale, OK?) instead of…

What legal consequences were imposed on Al Franken by the legal system without affording him due process?

He (and his defenders in that piece) really seem to believe that his intentions matter more here than their effect on the victims. And they just . . . don’t.

I liked having Franken in the Senate. I thought he was good at his job and a benefit to the Democrats.

You come so close to understanding why the “due process” argument is bullshit, and then just completely whiff somehow.

He (and his defenders in that piece) really seem to believe that his intentions matter more here than their effect on the victims. And they just . . . don’t. If you’re a man in the 21st century kissing women at work, it’s not their job to figure out whether that’s because you’re a lech or a socially awkward dork. If…

He was right to step down. I get it, it sucks because before all of this came out, I really liked the guy. But him stepping down was the right thing to do, end of story.

“[...]Planned Parenthood, that has been forcibly politicized for its entire 103-year existence by those who want the right to be abolished and the organization to cease existing. [...]”

actually, he was asked...by the reporter...who wrote this article. would he have done better to say “I’m not going to answer that?”
